Description

Your own cloud with no monthly fee

Synology Drive syncs folders across computers and phones and backs up PC folders in real time or on a schedule. Synology Photos sorts your pictures and backs up phone photos automatically. QuickConnect enables remote access without port forwarding on your router. Surveillance Station turns the NAS into a video recorder supporting more than 8300 camera models and ONVIF devices.

Who this NAS is for

Homes and small offices that want their files under their own roof instead of in someone else's cloud, but do not need a multi-drive array. A single bay keeps the unit small and simple: insert a drive, set up DSM in a browser and share folders with your family or team.

Questions & answers

Are drives included?

No. The DS124 comes without drives; the bay takes one 2.5″ or 3.5″ SATA hard drive or SSD.

How do I protect data with only one drive?

A single bay cannot mirror drives, so backups matter more. Hyper Backup copies the NAS contents to a range of destinations, including clouds such as C2 Storage, and Btrfs snapshots help restore files changed by mistake.

Can I reach my files away from home?

Yes. QuickConnect offers secure remote access without port forwarding – from a browser, Windows File Explorer, Finder on a Mac and mobile apps.
